Oh.my. GOD. ‘Dig deep’ ie: dig around trash bins in the garage for whatever near-worthless garbage didn’t make any of the other dozen super-special-never-released-deluxe-limited-remastered-bonus rereleases. Again… I don’t think even the Beatles are as ridiculous with their back catalog.

Will I buy? Def.

Not putting in my order just yet but I'll have to get the one with the limited 7", which apparently jacks up the price by 20 bucks.

Grateful to already own the single and save 20 bucks (you'll also get a flayer and some stickers for yer money). Going to wait until it shows up on Amazon. Not thrilled with Rhino's mail order dealy.

Pretty sure I'll buy this. I don't have the previous reissues

[lewdd]

I will be adding that to my list of things to buy. I guess I will keep selling some other stuff on Discogs to fund it.

Sal, maybe you can find out what the next Ramones reissue in a box set will be and when it is coming out. Also, see if you can find out when the 50th anniversary of LA Woman box set is being released too.

I gave a deep listen to some Ramones while driving around L.A. PLEASANT DREAMS is the underrated gem many popsters have always claimed it is (great drumming by Marky) and ANIMAL BOY has not aged as well as I had hoped (crummy, crummy, crummy guitar sounds on that record).
Here's me at Johnny's memorial at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Can't call it his grave cuz he ain't buried there (he was cremated), but he wanted a permanent memorial.

That is on my list of places to visit if and when I make it to Los Angeles area again. Nice pic

[gregpolard]

So let's place bets here now on what the next Mats move is.

My vote is:

Black Friday RSD vinyl (or maybe due to delays, spring 2022) of the 1981 Live Set

Nice pic; I'm definitely one of those Pleasant Dreams boosters. It's been my favorite Ramones Lp for quite some time now. I disagree about Animal Boy, though. I prefer it to Too Tough to Die (which I think is super overrated/kinda mediocre tbh) and it's probably my favorite post-Pleasant Dreams album of theirs.

I pulled the trigger here:

https://www.popmarket.com/replacements- ... 3497843442

Under $70 and free shipping. If you enter your email you can also get a 10% off code that works. Try THANKS10 and if that doesn't work, use your email and get a new code.

Ended up costing $66 shipped after the discount. I just can't justify paying the Rhino.com price of $119 after shipping all to get some extra buttons, a sticker & a 7". As much as I want the 7", for the difference I can probably just get an original pressing instead at some point.

Anyway, if you're looking to save a few bucks, this seems like the best bet!

Who hurt you???

Who hurt you???

1) Whoever's idea it was to have more than 1 version of a boxset retrospective.
2) Whoever's idea it was to milk people by adding re-mastered shitty demo tracks that are left off the albums for obvious reasons.
3) Anyone who annoys me at any given time.

Any other questions??

Oh yeah, Marillion do it too and no, I don't pull the trigger. I'd rather spend my money on a new guitar and or new releases. And food. So there.

Re-issuing already released material with a bunch of half-assed "bonus" studio-farts and demo tracks is definitely an easier way to keep the revenue stream flowing than say, actually writing and recording new material or God forbid, touring.

[gregpolard]

All of the above is true. But I will say these packages are done quite well and worth owning if you're a fan.

[lewdd]

I'm with Greg. If you have no interest in them, don't buy them. Why be a Debbie Downer?

[xxxMidgexxx]

I'd rather complain. It's easier.

Thanks for another racist, hate filled post.

Snob. Weezil was right.

Learned my lesson with the RSD PTMM outtakes LP last summer... never again:

I picked up that 'Mats Pleased to Meet Me outtakes and alternates LP on RSD... a lot of stinkers on there... The version of CHW, Paul mumbles and stumbles his way through the lyrics, the band is on autopilot, the whole thing just sounds like a shitty demo. But I'm still the dipshit who dropped like $30.00 on it.

Not a good investment either as it is selling for $45 on Discogs right now.

Siren had a ton of copies for several weeks after RSD.
